You mentioned that there are some who claim that passages in
first and second Kings and first and second Chronicles contradict one
another and that proves there are mistakes in scripture. As you point
out, there are no such mistakes or errors of any kind as ALL SCRIPTURE
is God BREATHED, protected, preserved, and translated correctly. The
"errors" all lie with the readers. Always, it is the reader, not the
Scripure in error. Example after example could be cited. Let me give
one.
First Kings 7:15 gives the height of the two columns of brass
standing in front of Solomon's temple as 18 cubits "apiece". Jeremiah
gives the same measure, 18 cubits. Yet Second Chronicles 3:15 states
that the two pillars were 35 cubits. Commentary after commentary cites
this as a " copy" error. It is not. It is simply the combined total
length of the two columns together, the finished length or total
measure. Either each column was 17.5 cubits, rounded to 18 in Kings, or
else the columns were slightly cut off in finishing them.
As you said, these are stones for stumbling. Follow the two Rules. There are no mistakes.....
